This contemporary French variation on the 'Withnail & I2 scenario finds two social misfits breaking into the workplace of one when they're evicted from their rent-free abode. Funny and unsentimental, it's a beautifully played piece that, although it peters out towards the end, wins the day with its engaging comic tone.
